International Fisheries Law and Policy Review

The International Fisheries Law and Policy Review (IFLPR) project consists of the development, design and eventual publication of a peer-reviewed, subscription-based journal on international fisheries law, policy and management. Most stages of this process are now complete and IFLPR will formally be launched in 2008 (with the first issue due for publication in 2009).

IFLPR will be published 4 times a year in print and online. The journal, which has an Editorial Board and a Management/Editorial Team comprised of leading international experts, will provide scholarly and practical articles, analyses and reviews of major issues and developments in international and comparative fisheries law, policy and management. The scope of the journal will extend not only to fisheries, but will also include marine mammals, sea turtles, sea birds and other living marine biodiversity.

IFLPR has been under development since 2003, but the terms of reference for the project have developed considerably since the project’s inception. IFLPR is now being developed alongside Current Developments in International Fisheries Law and Policy, a monthly electronic periodical which will also be published in print (3 issues at a time) in each issue of IFLPR, and forms part of the International Fisheries Law and Policy Portal suite of publications, also to be launched in 2008. Earlier “Concept Issues” of the journal are available below (the final format closely following the 2005 Concept Issue), together with information on the journal’s Editorial Board.
